Downs dream alive? | Bjork's tune | Huge visit weekend ahead Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

Ohio State has made several impact additions via the transfer portal.

Now the fight is on to make possibly the biggest non-QB addition in portal annals. It won't be easy.

But Ohio State is in the mix for Alabama safety transfer Caleb Downs.

We have Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter dive deep on Downs, other transfer targets and offer a breakdown of prospects visiting Ohio State this weekend. Some names to know: Jared Curtis, Carter Lowe, Maxwell Riley.

Then we bring in Steve Helwagen to give you all the info on new AD Ross Bjork. What does the future hold with Bjork at the helm?

Ohio State's NFL Draft role call with guru Dane Brugler Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

We're thrilled to welcome back NFL Draft expert Dane Brugler from The Athletic. He treats us to several appearances each draft cycle to detail the Buckeyes headed for the NFL.

The head count is not as robust this time around. We've discussed over a dozen draft eligible Buckeyes in some years. This year?

Three.

Was there a talent drop-off we need to be concerned about? Hardly. Besides Marvin Harrison, Jr., Mike Hall, Matt Jones, Cade Stover, the rest opted for another year in Columbus. There are several others we discussed including Tommy Eichenberg, Josh Proctor and Steele Chambers.

Dane breaks down where the draft eligibles could land but also let's us in on where those who chose to return could have been picked.

Add in questions about C.J. Stroud and great contributions from our LIVE views and you've got yourself a nice little show.

Beam up Kirks | Speaking Ffrench | Tide moving out? Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

Whew!

We've actually had a few days to breathe. Ohio State's transfer portal fury has relented ... for now.

But work on the recruiting trail is never done. Is Ohio State about to add a final 2024 piece on the defensive line? We talk Dominic Kirks in detail.

We stay on the trail to translate the interest in wide receiver Jaime Ffrench. One word: Oui.

Has Nick Saban's exit caused Crimson Tiders - several in particular - to consider life elsewhere?

Mark Porter and Bill Kurelic join to handle those topics and questions from our LIVE participants.

Stacked 2024 depth chart taking shape for Buckeyes Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

Since the 5ish last left you on Friday, even more good news has rolled in for Ohio State. J.T. Tuimoloau and TreVeyon Henderson announced they are coming back for their senior seasons, capping an improbable run of talented upperclassmen returning for one more season with the Buckeyes. And while the depth chart certainly is not set by any means, it is beginning to take shape. And it looks tremendous.

Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle take a close look at the Buckeyes' projected 2024 depth chart on today's show. Plus, just how big is the 2024 season for head coach Ryan Day and OSU? Is Day on the verge of bringing in an offensive coordinator from the outside?

All of that and more is coming your way on the MLK Day version of the 5ish.

Emeka is back | Coaching news on horizon for Buckeyes? Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

The good news continues to roll in for Ohio State at this very early stage of the offseason. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka announced on Thursday that he will be returning for his senior season in Scarlet and Gray, one day after cornerbacks Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock did the same. This is on the heels of players such as defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, defensive end Jack Sawyer, DT Ty Hamilton, left guard Donovan Jackson and safety Lathan Ransom deciding to make one last ride in Columbus in 2024.

Now, we only wait the decisions of running back TreVeyon Henderson and defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau.

Also, will there be a big addition to OSU's coaching staff in the near future? Is Ryan Day really going to bring in an offensive coordinator and turn over playcalling duties to him?

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for the Friday 5ish to discuss all of that and much more.

Is RT next priority for Buckeyes in portal? | Answering your other questions Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

Ohio State is doing a bang up job in the portal to kick off the offseason. Thus far, the Buckeyes have landed quarterback Will Howard, running back Quinshon Judkins, center Seth McLaughlin and tight end Will Kacmarek. Is adding a right tackle from the portal clearly the next priority?

Dave Biddle flies solo on the Wednesday 5ish to discuss that, discuss the pending decisions for some of OSU's upperclassmen in terms of whether to return for another season or turn pro, answer questions from the live audience and much more.

No Miss: Star RB Judkins joins Ohio State | Something special Brew-ing Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

Sure, you expected to wake up cranky. We get it. But then you learned Ohio State added elite transfer portal running back Quinshun Judkins. That should brighten your day, indeed.

And that's not all.

We've got Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter to bring you up to speed on other elite recruiting prospects and what Ohio State's transfer portal activity means for the future.
